"Marley Woods" is the name of a undisclosed area in the state of Missouri where strange paranormal activity and UFO sightings have supposedly been occurring for decades. i believe most people associate the name "Marley Woods" with legendary UFO researcher Ted Phillips because he is the initial investigator of the sightings and events there and from what i understand other investigators have joined up with him and call themselves "The SIU Team" (special investigations unit)

the exact location of the area in question has never been revealed and remains a secret because the investigators examining the phenomena there want to keep the location unspoiled and pristine for further study which makes perfect sense to me. while searching for info about Marley Woods i noticed there really isn't much data that can be found on the internet other than a few pictures and a couple webpages that list some of the sightings but it appears Ted Phillips is working on a new website and hopefully when he gets that finished we will know more about this intriguing story.

There have been numerous reports of small white globes seen at all of the Marley Woods sites. Video has been taken of a number of these events. A recent report involves a couple walking from the farm of a friend to their farm late in the evening. “My wife and I were walking home and when we were halfway there we saw two balls of white light, about the size of basketballs. They appeared to our right on a collision course with each other. They were moving very fast and when they came together I grabbed my wife and threw her to the ground thinking there would be shock waves and debris. The lights merged and went out, there was no sound and no debris

At Approximately 8:45 p.m. on Saturday May 3rd, SIU Investigator, Adam Johnson, accompanied by filmmakers/brothers Josh and Ron Johnson, and four residents of the “Marley Woods,” were able to witness a brilliant display of ‘Amber lights’. A total of 7-8 silent ‘Amber lights’ were witnessed. It began with one light appearing then suddenly blinking out after about 2-3 seconds. Next, another ‘Amber light’ appeared (approximately 500 feet east from the first object); it lasted a few seconds and was followed instantly by a light extremely close to the west and yet again by another light parallel to its position and within very close proximity (reminiscent of the ‘Phoenix Lights’.) After that, a light came on directly southwest of the other two lights position. They all lasted a few seconds and then disappeared. Approximately 5 minutes later, two more objects appeared subsequently after each other and lasted no longer than 10 seconds each.On May 5, 2008 just two nights after SIU team members observed and imaged several large bright amber objects the following events took place.

"When the object got to the front of the cabin near the bell, it made a tight left turn and appeared to continue on a left curve as it went out of sight in front of the cabin. It appeared to be traveling right behind F’s car which was just leaving

There was absolutely no sound or wind created by the object. It passed directly in front of Ted’s camera that was operating. It dropped a little in altitude as it went over and in front of the camera."

July, 1999: Witnesses 73 & 74, both in their mid-60's, live 2,000 feet west of the second farm owned by Wit 53 (June, 1999 cattle, rings, gates events). One evening in early July the wife saw a 'craft'with lights passing over their house. She called to her husband and they both watched as the object slowly descended into the woods on 53's farm as if landing. They drove toward the area to see if they could find the object but all was dark. The object had descended into the area of the old buildings on 53's property.

The next day they arrived at the farm and as they were watching the place while 53 was gone they had keys to the gates. It was noon, a clear, calm day. There is an old trailer house forty feet SE of the house which is also quite old and in bad shape. The entire area was grown up with high weeds. 73 stopped the car twenty feet from the house and walked to the trailer to check it. His wife watched from the car - she is a very large person and it is difficult for her to enter or exit the car.

74 watched as her husband walked from the trailer toward the old house. Suddenly he fell to the ground. His wife, fearing he had a heart attack, left the car and headed for the path to the house. She called to him and asked if he was ok. It took him several seconds to reply in a very weak voice. She asked him if he could get up and he said he wasn't sure. She then could see he was face down in the area between the trailer and house. As she reached him she felt a "force" or pressure against her upper back and shoulders and was pushed to the ground, falling next to her husband.

They managed to help each other off the ground. He said he was walking between the house and trailer when he was suddenly "pushed" violently straight ahead. Both reported they felt two distinct "blows" before falling.

He suffered a bloody right leg from the hip to the foot and developed a blood clot above his right knee and spent several days in the hospital.

This couple is highly regarded in the community. They have not reported or discussed the event with anyone except a close family friend and she told R and I about it. They refused to talk with us even though they have known R for many years. The husband was an avid hunter his entire life, he not only stopped hunting but rarely leaves his house.
